Heavy Travel, Means More Troopers Cracking Down On Speeders

The N.C. Highway Patrol prepares for a busy holiday as motorists travel to their holiday destinations. This means more people will be on our highways, increasing the chance of traffic crashes.

State Troopers Will be cracking down on speeders during the holiday with the nationwide program "Operation C.A.R.E." which stands for Combined Accident Reduction Effort. Typically the height of travel is on Friday, but this year the holiday falls in the middle of the week.
